Hunting Handbook

Can i be a hunting guide???

In my town hunting is most of our economy, and guides flourish here. I recently had a friend come up to me and ask me to start guiding for him. I kinda need the money for a bow and i love to hunt, but i don't really know what to do, can anybody help me??? kc, i said i need to know what to do. do i just take them hunting and be done with it??? that kind of thing. I KNOW i can do it.

1. As a Hunting Guide you would have to explain to them the dangers of hunting, recommend sites, explain how it works, show them where to go and how to live out in the wild.
2. if your asking us if you have the knowledge to be a guide then most likely NO you could not make it as a guide.
3. If guides flourish where a you are then I'd say you need to be mentored by a local (with an outstanding reputation). It probably means your going to do all the grunt work at first..setting up camp...taking care of the horses and the like. But if you have your heart set on it then these are the steps you need to take to learn. After all..it is a business..and if you want to be the best..you need to train with the best you can find.
4. depends on where you live in some states you need special permits and courses before you can become a hunting guide.
5. NO you cannot be a hunting guide. Everyone else can, but you can't.
